OpenOffice.org 3.0 Software Development Kit (SDK)
The OpenOffice.org SDK is an add-on for the OpenOffice.org office suite. It provides the necessary tools and documentation for programming the OpenOffice.org APIs and creating own extensions (UNO components) for OpenOffice.org.
What's new in OpenOffice.org 3.0 SDK?
- Installation in the office
The SDK installs now in an existing office installation. That means as a new sub directory "sdk" in the new base layer of an office installation. This way it can be easy shared between any branded office versions based on the same base layer (e.g. OpenOffice.org 3 or StarOffice 9). On Windows it is recommended to accept the suggested installation directory during the setup. On Mac OSX the SDk is installed in a separate directory OpenOffice.org3.0_SDK because it is not possible to install into the office application bundle. - API's
The OpenOffice.org API covers now 4064 UNO IDL type definitions. For OpenOffice.org 3.0 we have introduced 197 new UNO IDL types (whereas 16 are new published types). In this version 13 unpublished tpyes are removed. Please see "Overview of new API's" for a roughly overview of the new types.
The UNO IDL reference documentation gets improved by inserting missing or correct existing documentation as well by fixing errors in our autodoc tool that is used for the generation of the reference.
